Into the valley

After the storms from last night woke up to a hot day again with the sun shining.
Jim had found a walk from the campsite to the cascades in the valley. We set off on the walk expecting to be along the road however we discovered a lovely gentle sloping upwards path along the valley floor with meadows, wild flowers and the sound of cowbells along the path. We did however find some strange wool wrapped oddities tied to trees along the path ( see the photos ) not sure what they were lol 😂

When we reached the waterfalls (cascades) I was so glad I had carried my swimmers and got to do a bucket list dip under the waterfalls in clear cold water.
The heat intensified as we made our way back along the path with the sound of thunder all around. We managed to get almost back to the village and that beer we had been imaging for a few miles when the heavens opened. We had to take shelter in a bus shelter as the first bar was closed. As the rain calmed we managed to find our way to an open bar and enjoyed the beer. The rain and thunder was right over us by this point and we did think we would be there until the bar stated serving pizza at 7 but took a chance and walked quickly back to the site and luckily escaped getting a soaking.
Dinner was a casa Helen and Jim at the van with garlic herbs and lemon pork chops and much needed veg.Read more
